A Guy from Hills at JNU

Honestly, I chose a foreign language because I observed one could get a job immediately after graduation if you've learned well enough. That too is German because I feel it has the largest market in this sector and less supply. Center of German Studies (CGS) is one of the strictest centers in the School of Languages. The teachers are quite punctual and gritty. However, at the moment, due to a lack of professors, a lot of Ph.D. students teach BA students. The faculty is highly educated, be it the likes of Prof. Babu Thaliath, Prof. Shambhavi Prakash, Prof. Rosy, and so on. You can check out the JNU official page for further details. Different teaching methods are used to make topics interesting and engaging, even though the exams are not monotonous, they can be written, oral, speaking, or listening. The exams are not very difficult if you've paid attention to the classes. You're expected to commit mistakes.

As of now, the semester fee is 108. Other than this, you'll need to pay the mess bill if you're living in a hostel which sums up to around 3000-3500. At the beginning of a new semester, a maintenance fee of around 1500 is also charged. As of now, we have a DAAD scholarship from Germany for 2nd-year students. You can go to Germany to study over there for some months. Just register for the scholarship, have a B2 level proficiency certificate and give the interview.

If you want to practically watch a society where there is "unity in diversity", you should come to the JNU campus. Lots of programs are conducted throughout the year, every festival is celebrated with great pomp and splendor. In addition, there are DJ nights which are second to none when it comes to enjoying and having fun. JNU Central library is a place to be if you're a serious student. There you can meet serious civil service aspirants and have some good company.

I'm pursuing Bachelor in the German language at JNU. You can apply once your intermediate is completed, there is no minimum percentage requirement as such.
